Background: Patients with type II diabetes (T2D) exhibit a higher rate of sleep disturbance than that of the general population. Purpose: To investigate the relationship among psychiatric distress, exercise habits, and sleep quality in patients with T2D. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited patients 20 years and older who were diagnosed with T2Dfrom the outpatient department of a teaching hospital in northern Taiwan. Patients who had limited cognitive function, difficulty in communicating, or unstable vital signs were excluded. Each subject was required to answer a structural questionnaire, which included a Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS-5), a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and an exercise habit questionnaire. Results: The response rate was 64.7% (110/170) . The average BSRS-5 score was 3.66 (full score 20). Forty-nine (44.5%) subjects had regular exercise habit. The average PSQI score among the subjects was 5.56 (the full score, 21). Forty-four (40%) subjects had sleep disturbances (PSQI score > 5). Psychiatric distress and exercise intensity were associated with the quality of sleep. Conclusion: The severity of psychiatric distress were associated with the quality of sleep. Subjects who exercised with moderate intensity had a better sleep quality. Suggestion: Nurses can promote regular exercise habits with moderate intensity among T2D patients. |
